Engineer

• Reporting to the Chief Mine Engineer, the Senior UG Mine Engineer will lead the mine design efforts for KoBold’s Mingomba project, including pre-feasibility and feasibility engineering studies.
• You will help to identify, design, and execute all mining engineering programs necessary to maximize the safety, feasibility, and value of our future mine.
• You will be responsible for the strategy, implementation and execution of mine design strategies consistent with development plans and in coordination with operations teams.
• You will also support all modeling work from district to mine scales in support of these goals.
• You will be responsible for building and fostering a collaborative relationship to support synergies with surrounding operators.
• You will join an outstanding team of geoscientists, data scientists, and software engineers.
• You will support the advancement of the science and practice of exploration.
• You will support the development of novel data collection and monitoring programs.
• Working closely with geologists, hydrogeologists, and data scientists you will support construction of physics-based and data-driven models of the hydrogeology of our exploration sites and state-of-the-art water management strategies.
• A key challenge will be to quantify uncertainties relevant to mining, and to identify efficient means for reducing these uncertainties as the project advances.

Senior UG Mine Engineer

Procurement

• Develop and execute comprehensive global procurement strategies across all spend categories including drilling services, geophysical surveys, laboratory services, exploration equipment (core rigs, geophysical instruments, sampling equipment), technology solutions (AI/ML platforms, data management systems, specialized software), professional services (geological consulting, environmental assessments, legal services), and operational supplies.
• Build and maintain strategic relationships with key suppliers across multiple jurisdictions, establishing preferred vendor programs and long-term partnerships that support KoBold's exploration timeline requirements and cost optimization goals.
• Develop and maintain rigorous should-cost models across all major procurement categories, building KoBold's own independent economic understanding of what vendors do, what they should be doing, and what it should cost them to provide goods and services.
• Drive the organization, including all internal stakeholders who purchase goods and services, to engage deeply with the substance of what is being procured, not just the quoted price.
• Design and implement comprehensive supplier qualification and due diligence processes, including financial stability assessments, safety record evaluations, environmental compliance verification, and ethical business practice reviews.
• Assist with complex, high-value contract negotiations across diverse categories including multi-year drilling contracts, equipment purchase and lease agreements, technology licensing deals, professional services agreements, joint venture arrangements, and master service agreements.
• Evaluate and implement procurement technologies including spend analytics, supplier management, and e-sourcing solutions to optimize procurement strategy and deliver measurable value.
• Collaborate closely with Operations teams on project-specific procurement needs and supplier performance management.
